Big Big Train

Big Big Train - Judas Unrepentant lyrics

rate me

Venetian expertise

Inspired by Titian

Which he modified

Fine tuned along dutch lines

He’s painting revenge

Embittered by lack of success

With signature techniques

Attention to details

And fine tell tale brushstrokes

of badger and sable

Expressing contempt

For greedy dealers

Getting rich

At the artist’s expense

Infamous forger and restorer

Judas Unrepentant

branded a charming old lovable rogue

Judas Unrepentant

Hey

Judas Unrepentant

Hey

Judas!

His time bombs are in place

And anachronisms

Clues pointing to the truth

If ever they are X-rayed

Wrote legends in lead white

to trick the experts

And hoodwink

Hoodwink the trained eye

Infamous forger and restorer

Judas Unrepentant

branded a charming old lovable rogue

Judas Unrepentant

Hey

Judas Unrepentant

Hey

Judas Unrepentant

Establishing provenance

Acquiring old frames with Christies numbers

Then paints a picture in the same style

Specialising in minor works by major artists

All rise

Thirteen watercolours by Samuel Palmer

Have proven to be his undoing

And so he confesses then he is arrested

Charged him with conspiracy to defraud

Years of chain smoking and breathing in fumes from restorations

The stress of the court case had taken its toll

His trial was halted due to ill health

So now we can all buy

Real genuine fakes

That’s posthumous fame

It’s always the same

Infamous forger and restorer

Judas Unrepentant

branded a charming old lovable rogue

Judas Unrepentant

Feeling like Robin Hood

Just as good

As Rembrandt or Titian

Hey

Judas Unrepentant

Hey

Judas Unrepentant

Hey

Judas Unrepentant
